Dear Friends in Delhi
For those who are really plagued with very high Electricity bills and Water Bills suggest the following:
1. Minimize the use of AC to only 4 hours presently btw 3pm to 7pm. Keep open your windows n full fans during other times.
2. Switch to 5 star rated ACs, Super Fans and other 5 *electricity equipment if it's the time to replace them.
3. Save RO waste water by extending the outlet tank pipe into a flat tank on large bucket and use it for house cleaning. That is saving 9 tankers of water annually.
Given the Covid scenario it's best to depend on natural ventilation.
For those who want to turn their Institutions or Homes into Net Zero Energy and Sustainable Habitat, you may contact me for professional help.
Kind Regards

Impacts of Covid-19 on the Architectural Building Design Scenario:
1. Work From Home (WFH)
Creation of Office Spaces at Homes and Reduction in Office Spaces of Corporates as WFH will become a new normal with more than 50% employees.
This would Reduce Traffic on Roads as well.
2. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Touch-less Technology in Access Control, Doors, Lifts, Flush Cisterns & Water Taps etc.
3. Preference of Passive Design Measures in Heating and Cooling over HVAC with a Focus on Maximum use of Natural Ventilation.Reduction in Central Air-conditioning Systems with fixing of Thermostats above 25 Degrees Celcius.
4. Use of Closed Cubicles in Office Design Spaces instead Open Office Designs
5. Creation of Thermal Check Detectors at the Entrance as an Access Control Measure.
6. Shift towards on Campus Mix Design of Buildings with Residences for 50% Employees on the same Campus as the Office.
7. On Campus Housing for Industrial Unit Workers
8. On Campus Mobile Housing for Construction Workers
9. Extensive Use of Copper & Brass in public utilities instead of Plastic & Steel
10. Creation of Smaller Conference Rooms with online Projection Facilities.
